Touching Evil is a British television drama serial following the exploits of a crack squad on the Organised & Serial Crime Unit, a rapid response police force that serves the entire country.
The serial was produced by United Productions for Anglia Television, and screened on the ITV network in 1997.[1] It was created by Paul Abbott. The first season consists of six 50-minute (one-hour with advertisements) episodes written by Abbott with Russell T Davies.[2][3] The popularity of the serial led to two sequel serials in 1998 and 1999, although not written by Abbott or Davies.[4] The first episode aired on 29 April 1997, and the last on 6 June 1999, after 16 episodes and 3 series.[5][6]
The serial stars Robson Green as D.I. Dave Creegan,[7] with Nicola Walker co-starring as his colleague D.I. Susan Taylor.[8] The third series was co-produced by Green's own independent production company Coastal Productions.[9][10]
